Visitation
And lo
the Holy Spirit
descendeth
and spreadeth
wings
of golden light
And the Spirit
sayeth
unto all creation
"Look ye
and behold:
For you gaze
upon
the face
of Love!"

the Whisper
All the wings
of Heaven
shall bow
toward You,
my Beloved
And
the whisper
of wings
shall say
"All for You,
all is for You"
Role Call of the Awliya
Hark ye,
Awaken!
Oh you sisters,
daughters
of my Mother
Oh you brothers,
sons
of my Father
Behold:
We are born
in unity-
Let us grow
and tend it,
to set it
free.
Embrace
the earth,
that She may know
love.
Say we:
Put down
your silly armaments
your jealousies
your greed.
This is the time
we explode
into light!
Not to destroy
the darkness,
but to be
it's
balance.
We claim
our title
and it's
responsibilites-
Are we not
Friends
of God,
Lovers
of
the Beloved?
Between us
there is only
light!
We cannot
but shine it,
even if
it shatters us -
What does it matter?
How could we
be parted?
How
could the Lovers
leave
the Beloved,
when
the Beloved
is All?
Drink II
May each drop of rain
wash
a sorrow
from your heart,
that your soul
shall
like a flower
grow
I am sure
someone much wiser
than I
has said it
much better:
Don't worry about
right
and wrong-
just Love!
Crow
Rainbow black
an oilspill prism
She calls out to me
Ripping the silence
her greeeting
scream
a raking scrape
as metal on glass
Her welcome
a warning
echoes on water
shatters the sky
exploding to life
a hundred replies
Hello cousin
mine
Beloved
outstretched arms
searching hands
scanning the darkness
to seek the light
my fingertips found You
I will dance Your solid
waves of flesh
and swim Your rippling
earth
Said the Lover
As the ember
in the flame
are You,
my Beloved
the Light
of my
heart
For my Father
Do not disdain
the one-eyed
man,
for he still
sees
the Light
aw.
